him

Him can be the object of a verb or preposition. You use him to refer to a man, boy, or male animal that has already been mentioned, or whose identity is known.

He asked if you'd call him when you got in.
There's no need for him to worry.

Be Careful!
Don't use 'him' as the indirect object of a sentence when you are referring to the same person as the subject. Instead use himself.

He poured himself a drink.
